Any comments about this Dell Model - N540316 - Dell Inspiron(TM) 6400 Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo Processor T2300 Notebook

Costs 62k odd. And is it 10% tax in India ?

There still havent been any benchmarks for the Zenith laptops atleast as far as i know and since Intel processors the FSB seems kinda low though good going with the 2Mb cache!
How about a low end Toshiba prolly only slightly more expensive than this and almost the same config?

Hmm....
My budget was intially 35k,can manage to stretch to 40 +/- 2 K.Cant spend anything above that.
I thought toshiba computers are damn expensive,will check out the prolly lappy nonetheless.
1 more thing,can I get a amd equivalent of the centrino fo around 40 k,I know acer sells a semporn lappy for 37k but thats no good,it is the equivalent of a celeron.

I happen to lay my hands on a compaq price list for pune.
Uploading it here,might help ya guys.
Compaq laptops however , start from aound 48 k ,so they might be a lillte expensive.
If u wanna go for a low budget lappys check out yesterdays times of india.It had an ad for sahara laptops(celeron) ,starting price:26990 k.
I will post more details about them when sahara mails me a copy of the brochure.
cheers.

Hi guys,

me trying to get someone to get me a laptop from the US too. Got my sights fixed on a DELL XPS 140 which is priced at 849$. Throw in an 8X DVD writer and taking taxes into acc (free shipping) the final cost comes to 990$. Have read quite a few reviews and the final analysis is that it has very good sound and battery back up while the looks could be better (this aint a Vaio of course!).

Any comments?
